28.Sh DESCRIPTION
29The
30.Fn Pcontent
31function describes information available from the process handle
32.Fa P .
33.Pp
34Different types of process handles have different kinds of content
35available to them.
36For example, handles to active and running processes have more information
37available than various core files, as the core file retains a subset of
38information available in the running process.
39Handles that refer to ELF objects, obtained through
40.Xr Pgrab_file 3PROC ,
41will not have information such as a stack available.
42The content of core files is controlled by
43.Xr coreadm 8 .
44.Pp
45The symbols that may be returned are listed in the
46.Sy core_content_t
47heading in the
48.Sy TYPES
49section in
50.Xr libproc 3LIB .
51.Sh RETURN VALUES
52Upon successful completion, the
53.Fn Pcontent
54function returns the bitwise-inclusive-OR of content types.
55Otherwise,
56.Dv CC_CONTENT_INVALID
57is returned to indicate an error.
